Ward Named In Ireland Squad For Holland Friendly

Defender Stephen Ward has been included in a 35-man Republic of Ireland squad for a friendly against Holland later this month.

The title-winning Clarets’ left back is included in Martin O’Neill’s squad for the international game at The Aviva Stadium on May 27.

Ireland will then name their final European Championship squad on May 28, before a training camp in Cork and friendly against Belarus complete their preparations ahead of the summer tournament in France.
